how much bigger? what are you planning? 351 block - stroked to 393/408?

I have a 347, i love it.

edit; sorry mis read. you said he is going bigger.



Ya that's why he wants to sell me the 347. I think I'm just going to rebuild my 302 and add a few goodies. It has plenty of power for me as it is now, I'm afraid if I add too much hp shit is going to get twisted. Being the convertible, you can feel it when you come out of the hole hard.

Got the stang out today. I washed it up and ran to the beer store. When I came out 4 guys were walking around it asking me questions and shit. They were surprised it was 30 years old and all original still here in Michigan. Feels good.jpeg :)

The guy I got it from only put about 1,000 miles a year on it and he owned it for 22 years. He has generally between 6-10 cars and he drives them all sparingly. He only lives about 3 miles from town and that's about the only place he goes regularly. He has a 69 Dart I have been trying to talk him out of too. It needs a paint job an a little tlc but all the chrome is on it and in good shape. He's been prepping it for paint for like 3 years...lol He told me he wanted between 5 and 6 k for it, but when he gets hard up I'll get it for around 4k I think or maybe a little less, cash is king and money talks when he is broke. So all I have to do is wait until he loses his ass at the casino and be ready to pony up the cash.

Thanks. Ya, I have to do a bunch of body work before I get it painted nice. That paint job was just me getting it one color on a spray can budget. Hopefully I can get to hooking it up by June or July.
